Sukhoi Superjet 100
The Sukhoi Superjet 100 is a regional jet family in the 60 to 95-seat category. The Superjet 100 will be produced by Russian aerospace firm Sukhoi's civil division, of which Finmeccanica owns 25%.[1]
The Superjet 100 was formerly referred to as the Russian Regional Jet (Самолёт Российский Региональный Сухого), or "Sukhoi RRJ." The name was changed on 17 July 2006.[2]
Major subcontractors include Boeing Commercial Airplanes, Ilyushin, Yakovlev, and PowerJet. Boeing provides consulting in such areas as project management, market planning, certification and customer support. SNECMA is providing some level of funding for the project. Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. is negotiating a participatory role. Deliveries are to begin in 2008.
Production was to occur in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Russia, but Sukhoi is considering moving production to a city in the European portion of Russia, due to pressure from airlines and Sukhoi's partners.
The aircraft will be equipped with two PowerJet SaM146 turbofans.
The Superjet 100 is intended to compete against the Antonov An-148, EMBRAER E-Jets and the Bombardier C-Series programs.
The Superjet 100 airliner family is being developed based on the principle of maximum standardization of frame assemblies and systems, viz.: wings, fins, chassis, engine unit, crew cabin, basic aeroplane systems and component parts.
The standardization of the design will make it possible to improve the economic performance of the aeroplane family operation with expenditures kept at a rational level. It is estimated that the plane will cost $25 million (USD), although the company has not disclosed the final price.
The aerodynamics and design of the aeroplanes of the family are based on proven advanced technology to minimise technical risks at the stage of design, testing and operation. To broaden the customer base among airlines, each of the 3 standard sizes of the aeroplanes of the family has a basic and a LR modification designed for use on a network of various-length routes to make it possible for airlines to improve the economic performance of their operations through a more balanced composition of their fleets based on the route structure and passenger flows.
The design meets the specific requirements of airlines in Russia, the CIS, and western countries, and conforms to the Aviation Rules AP-25, FAR-25, JAR-25 requirements, and to the ground noise level requirements under ICAO Chapter 4 and FAR 36 Section 4 standards entering into force during 2006.
